What are your opinions on donating your breastmilk? A friend of mine donates hers to a micro preemie baby and I am also giving her 60 ounces of my freezer supply tomorrow. I personally don`t see anything wrong with it but my fiance thinks it`s disguesting. So I`m looking for opinions on the subject. Thanks ladies!

It's amazing women are willing to do that to not only give there children the best possible start, but to help other mothers who can't!!!! Though it does give me the heebiegeebies a bit, it is amazing and I am for it.

Donating breastmilk is a wonderful thing to do; imagine how dissapointed you would be if you couldn't breastfeed after planning to, and how thankful you would be to have someone donate to you for the health of your baby. Premie babies especially need breastmilk to support their immune systems. Tell your fiance that you are potentially saving the life of an innocent baby!

smiling politely - 902 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) its not gross!! like jinx said, most people would have blood if they needed it, so why not milk? i was a few weeks late in investigating Bmilk donation, the only place that takes it near me has a policy where your own baby must be younger than 6 months, and mine was 6 months and 3 weeks :( so i still have a freezerful that i am planning to use for cooking.

jinx-marcell - 902 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Ask your fiance if donatng plasma or blood is "disgusting" Obviously he doesn't quite grasp the concept. Blood, plasma, food, if these things can be donated (and they are!) and used then why should a helpless infant have to go without? I think it's awesome what you're doing and I've thought about donating milk as well but I just don't make enough. Kudos.

Disgusting? I think not. I would be most grateful to receive your donated milk if my child were at such risk, and I would never forget you for it.
